How the Antelope Was Caught
Characters
·
King of Bernares
·
Sanjaya
·
Antelope
Setting: Garden
and the King’s Castle
Plot: The
gardener is to try and get rid of the antelope for the king. He tells the king
he can capture the antelope with the use of honey. Once the antelope is
captured the king describes how lust can drive a person to do crazy things. I
thought the moral of this story was very true.
The Pupil Who Taught His
Teacher
Characters
·
Dhamapala
·
Brahmin
·
Son
Plot: The pupil
was testing his teacher to see if he would hold true to his beliefs. The
teacher passed the test because he had faith that his son was not dead because
they lived life with the right values. This story reminded me of biblical stories
and how the moral of the story related back to having beliefs in something
greater.
The Crow that Thought
It Knew
Characters:
·
Brahmadatta
·
Viraka
·
Savitthaka
Plot: The crow, Viraka, was very skilled at
catching prey. The crows lived in a time when food was hard to come by.
Savitthaka watched Viraka every day and how he was able to catch more food than
he needed. He made an offering to be a servant to the master crow for food for
him and his wife. Savitthaka’s pride eventually ended him because he thought he
could do as well as his peer and catch the same amount of fish. I thought this
story was very relatable to common actions we see today in humans.
